A Christmas Wreath!

I am super excited about today's post. . . at convention Carrie Cudney showed us how to make an awesome wreath out of Designer Series Paper (DSP). . . Carrie used the new DSP Merry Moments.

As soon as I found a floral wreath (for a good price) I knew I wanted to make one of my own. I used the Holiday DSP I had on hand from last year. . . it looks so cute hanging on my door. . . since it is only September I didn't keep it up there long. . . just long enough for a picture. :o)

I have ordered Merry Moments DSP and plan on doing another wreath when that comes in. . . so it will look more like Carrie's wreath, which is shown below.

So . . what do you think??? Would you like to make a wreath too??? Well you're in luck. I'm going to have a wreath class where you make this wreath and a fall wreath similar to the one shown on page 92 of the catalog. While I haven't picked a date yet let me know if you'd like to join me.

Thanks for stopping by!

p.s. You'll notice above I said I will be making another wreath when my new DSP arrives. . . . Are you asking yourself what am I going to do with my other one???

WELL . . I think it would make perfect blog candy . . how about you??? Oneluckystamper will win my wreath (shown in picture 1 of this post) . . . to be in the drawing all you need to do is leave me a comment on this post by 5pm on Wednesday (9/23) and tell me what your favorite stamping technique is.

Make sure to check back Thursday AM to see if your post was selected in the drawing! Good Luck!

Those are cool wreaths! I like the technique using several layers of UTEE (I think it's called), putting it in the freezer then cracking it, rubbing ink over it and wiping it off with a paper towel. It looks so great! Deb Stamm

Very cool wreath! I think my favorite technique is probably either the bleaching technique or tearing technique. The bleaching one is a new one that I just learned and I always do tearing so it was hard for me to pick just one.
